Insider Finance - Business - Gen Z’s new slang

Hello, Insiders! Matt Turner, editor in chief for business, here with an eye-popping stat to start the day: the most vulnerable US banks have seen around $1 trillion in deposit outflows since the Fed started hiking rates last year, per JPMorgan. Around half of that has moved into the biggest US banks, while the other half has moved into money market funds, with some accounts now offering yields in excess of 5%. Have you moved your money?

To battle remote work, companies are moving into fancy offices. That’s good news for employees — and bad news for old buildings.

Office attendance, as we once knew it, has completely changed. Fewer workers are coming in, so companies are cutting back on their physical footprints. They’re also being choosier about the offices they’re leasing – favoring spaces with the wow factor to draw employees in.

Because of this, a massive chunk of America’s office market is facing a doom loop. As rising costs make it harder for staid properties to keep pace with the rising standards of quality, more tenants ditch these mediocre offices, which in turn makes it even harder to pay for upgrades, so more tenants … well, you get the idea.
